Description

Low-dose R-ketamine intranasal medicament for treating depression
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical medicines, and particularly relates to a low-dose R-ketamine nasal medicine for treating depression.
Background
Ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, was developed by Parvin Davis Lab in 1963 in its racemate injection dosage form and was approved by the FDA for use in anesthetics in 1970. The racemic injection of ketamine is the most common use form of the prior medicinal ketamine, and a plurality of medicinal enterprises and products of the same variety are approved to be sold on the market in China.
BRISTOL MYERS CO in the patent application GB1330878A discloses compounds of both the levorotatory and dextrorotatory optical isomers of ketamine, and methods for their resolution. The separated S-ketamine is also called S-ketamine, esketamine and esketamine, and the R-ketamine is also called R-ketamine and R-ketamine.
Regarding S-ketamine, Janssen corporation developed a nasal spray formulation for the indication of refractory depression. The drug is approved by FDA two breakthrough therapies, one for drug-resistant depression (2013) and the other for major depression with severe suicidal tendency (2016). The drug is currently approved by FDA in the United states under the trade name SPRAVATO. According to the SPRAVATO pharmaceutical label record: 1. each SPRAVATO device contained 2 nasal sprays providing 28mg S-ketamine hydrochloride (as free S-ketamine). A single therapeutic dose of SPRAVATO is 56mg or 84mg, requiring 2 or 3 SPRAVATO devices to support, respectively. 3, when the SPRAVATO is administrated, 1 piece of SPRAVATO equipment is taken to respectively spray 14mg of S-ketamine to two nostrils of the patient, and after the interval of 5min, another 1 piece of new SPRAVATO equipment is taken to respectively spray 14mg of S-ketamine to two nostrils of the patient again; optionally, after another 5min interval, repeat the pre-dosing step with the 3 rd SPRAVATO device to meet the 84mg dose. The formula of the SPRAVATO comprises S-ketamine hydrochloride, citric acid monohydrate, disodium edetate, sodium hydroxide and water for injection, wherein the pH of the solution is 4.5, and the specification of an active ingredient is 28mg/0.2 mL.
Speravato orange peel patents US8785500 and US9592207 disclose: 1. nasally administered ketamine can treat treatment-resistant depression that is manifested by no treatment effect using two or more of the traditional drugs/treatments including atypical antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, bupropion, electroshock therapy, lamotrigine, lithium, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, selective 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, valproic acid, nefazodone, trazodone, and pramipexole. And various criteria for the determination of treatment resistant/intractable depression are given in the detailed description section. 2. The administration dosage is 0.1-3 mg/kg/day (US 8785500). Or at a dose of 0.13 to 0.53 mg/kg/day (US 9592207).
The main technical research of the Janssen company around S-ketamine also relates to the relevant disclosures of patents CN104519878A, CN 105073096A, CN105073103A, CN106714789A, CN107208133A, CN107735081A, CN111297803A, US20200009081A 1. CN104519878A discloses: in a method of treating refractory or treatment-resistant depression, esketamine is administered in an amount in the range of about 0.01mg/kg to about 1.5mg/kg, in an amount in the range of about 0.01mg/kg to about 0.75mg/kg, or in an amount in the range of about 0.05mg/kg to about 0.5 mg/kg. CN 105073096A and CN105073103A disclose: in an S-ketamine hydrochloride nasal spray, the S-ketamine hydrochloride is present at a concentration in the range of 100mg/mL equivalent to 200mg/mL equivalent, 125mg/mL equivalent to 150mg/mL, or 126mg/mL to 162 mg/mL; the solution pH is adjusted to 3.5 to 6.5, or 4.5 to 5.5. An S-ketamine hydrochloride nasal spray formulation is formulated with S-ketamine hydrochloride present in an amount of about 161.4mg/mL, citric acid monohydrate present in an amount of about 1.5mg/mL, disodium edetate present in an amount of about 0.12mg/mL, sodium hydroxide present in an amount sufficient to adjust the pH of the pharmaceutical composition to a pH of about 4.5, and water. Treatment regimens for depression of related specific genotypes are disclosed in CN106714789A and CN 107208133A. CN107735081A, CN111297803A and US20200009081a1 investigated the dosing of S-ketamine hydrochloride nasal spray formulations and related dosing regimens.
Regarding R-ketamine, the company Henry, Jiangsu, China is also developing nasal spray formulations for depression. According to the phase I clinical test of CTR20191785 disclosed by Chinese medicine clinical test registration and information disclosure platform, the active ingredient of the Henry R-ketamine nasal spray is (R) -ketamine hydrochloride.
The patent WO2015037248 of CHIBA UNIVERSITY carries out the comparative study of R-ketamine injection and S-ketamine injection on the mouse animal experiment with potential treatment potential of depression, and discloses that the R-ketamine injection has similar efficacy compared with the S-ketamine injection, but the R-ketamine injection does not damage the pulse inhibition of mice, has the potential advantage of lower side effect and is accompanied with the characteristic of low dependence of potential medication.
In conjunction with the above background, there are two distinct technical directions for the current ketamine isomers with respect to the treatment of depression. This is mainly due to the current pathogenesis of depression and the mechanism of action of ketamine on depression treatment that is not fully elucidated.
The Janssen company developing S-ketamine isomers believes that the therapeutic effect of ketamine on depression is mainly due to its antagonistic effect on NMDA receptors, whereas S-ketamine isomers have greater potency and affinity for NMDA receptors than R-ketamine isomers, and thus have a greater therapeutic effect on depression (see CN104519878A), which potentially allows for lower doses. Based on this, Janssen company developed a nasal spray formulation with S-ketamine isomer as an active ingredient.
It is generally accepted that S-ketamine has a stronger affinity for NMDA receptors than R-ketamine, but the mechanism of action of NMDA receptors and depression therapy, including CHIBA unicity, is different from Janssen' S opinion. The neuroscient team of Mark Rasenick conducted an antidepressant drug trial in artificially cultured mouse glial cells, and the results showed that other drugs that block NMDA receptors did not exhibit the similar effects of ketamine, with no therapeutic potential for depression; and all depression treatment drugs tested by researchers resulted in a positional change of a clusterin on the glial cell membrane, directing the cells to form new junctions with their neighbors, ketamine achieved this effect within 15 minutes, which is three days for other commonly used antidepressants. This means that the ability of ketamine to block NMDA receptors is probably not a major weapon for its resistance to depression. Carlos Zarate 2016, published in Nature, J.A.A.introduces perhaps a breakdown product of ketamine to alleviate depression in mice, rather than ketamine itself. The protein affected by this compound is the AMPA receptor, not the NMDA receptor. CHIBA unicersity recognizes S-ketamine as having a greater affinity for the NMDA receptor, and in the mouse experiments it disclosed that R-ketamine hydrochloride injection has tested the same or slightly higher potential therapeutic efficacy for depression than S-ketamine hydrochloride injection. However, due to the high affinity of S-ketamine for NMDA receptors, S-ketamine drugs may have adverse effects such as drug dependence.
In summary, the current ketamine variety for the treatment of depression has been approved for sale (FDA) as S-ketamine nasal spray. The nasal preparation of R-ketamine was only reported in Henry of Jiangsu and no relevant detailed research data was published. Janssen corporation disclosed some relevant research data on S-ketamine nasal spray formulations, and R-ketamine for treatment of depression was only disclosed in small, nasal studies at the standard dosage of the original ketamine injection formulation.
Further investigation has found that the S-ketamine nasal spray of Janssen requires a high dose of 56 or 84mg for a single treatment, which is limited by the solubility of the active ingredient, and the like, 2-3 devices are required for the patient to use simultaneously for each treatment, 4-6 nasal spray operations are required, and at least 5min is required for the interval between every two devices, which is quite complicated. Due to the reason of single treatment administration requirement, even if a plurality of devices are dispersed for administration, the S-ketamine in a single device still keeps high concentration, and the research on SPRAVATO products of Janssen company discovers that under normal placement, under the influence of factors such as temperature difference, shaking or storage time, the solution in the device has the possibility of generating the condition of active ingredient precipitation, and the instability affects the medicine quality and brings great hidden danger to clinical medication. Meanwhile, ketamine is a tube product which is easy to cause dependence, and the application of high-dose S-ketamine in S-ketamine nasal spray of Janssen company is easy to bring about the risk of side effect with increased medication dependence.

TABLE 3
Figure BDA0003493149250000052
Note: "+" represents p <0.05vs. vehicle control group
The results show that:
1) compared with a vehicle control group and a venlafaxine control group which is a positive drug, the time for stopping the rat from swimming is reduced by taking the medicine for 60min, and the time for stopping the rat from swimming is reduced by continuously maintaining the medicine after two times of continuous administration.
2) Compared with vehicle control group, the nasal drip group of 15mg/kg of (S) -ketamine hydrochloride is administered for 60min by single nasal drip, so that the time for stopping the swimming of rats is reduced, and the effect is basically disappeared in 24 h.
3) Compared with the vehicle control group, the nasal drip group of 7.5mg/kg of hydrochloric acid (R) -ketamine has the advantages that the single nasal drip administration for 60min to 24h reduces the time for the rat to stop swimming and move immovably, and the effect is basically disappeared at 48 h.
4) Compared with the nasal drop group of 7.5mg/kg of (R) -ketamine hydrochloride and 15mg/kg of (S) -ketamine hydrochloride, the single nasal drop administration for 60min is equivalent to reduce the time for the rat to stop swimming.
5) Compared with the vehicle control group, the nasal drip group with 15mg/kg of (R) -ketamine hydrochloride and the nasal drip group with 30mg/kg of (R) -ketamine hydrochloride have the advantages that the time for stopping the swimming of the rat is reduced by dripping the nasal drip for 60min to 24h once, and the effect of reducing the time for stopping the swimming of the rat is still maintained by the nasal drip group with 30mg/kg of (R) -ketamine hydrochloride at 48 h.
6) Compared with nasal drops of 7.5mg/kg, 15mg/kg and 30mg/kg of (R) -ketamine hydrochloride, the (R) -ketamine hydrochloride has good dose-effect relationship on the effect and effect of reducing the immobility time of the rat in swimming.
7) Compared with a solvent control group, the nasal drip group of which the concentration of ketamine hydrochloride is 15mg/kg does not have the pharmacodynamic effect of reducing the time for the rat to stop swimming and move.
In conclusion, the (R) -ketamine hydrochloride has the effect of reducing the immobility time of the rat in swimming, and has a good dose-effect relationship with the effect, and under the nasal administration route, half dose of the (R) -ketamine hydrochloride can play the effect equivalent to the full dose of the (S) -ketamine hydrochloride.
The present invention is not limited to the above alternative embodiments, and other various forms of products can be obtained by anyone in light of the present invention. The above detailed description should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention, which is defined by the appended claims, which are intended to be interpreted according to the breadth to which the description is entitled.
